Three10 is located in a lovely house with an open kitchen and a large outdoor space. The tables are well spaced so you never feel hemmed in. The staff is professional and attentive. The menu includes imaginative preparations for their dishes, one of my favorites is the black garlic Caesar salad. The special of the day was a striped bass over polenta with guanciale and puttanesca which my husband loved. The roasted oysters prepared with bacon, collards and cornbread crumbs are wonderful. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer and most dishes can be prepared gluten free. Highly recommend!

More like Miss the Point. So my partner has celiac/gluten free, which is why we came here. First off the guy who brought us our water was the best part of our evening, he was really friendly. A bit later our actual waiter came and told us “Everything” on the menu can be made gluten free, multiple times and that the chef was celiac. He then went on to describe the menu to us for quite a while, like 5-10 min a while. Cool so we picked the beet salad to split and chicken wings to start with. Well the chicken wings are not gluten free, so we went with the pickled vegetables instead. And we ordered the Mahi fish, which also has a $5 charge for splitting as noted on the daily printed menu we were informed about. First they gave us “vegetables” instead of bread. It was dry carrots, purple cauliflower, and uncooked fennel, no dipping sauce , yum. Then our salad came out split on two plates, and I’m not kidding it was about 7 pieces of lettuce and one beat (split) between us. And the dressing was a spicy buffalo sauce. It was weird. Then the pickled vegetables came out, well they weren’t pickled, but they definitely had been sitting in some vinegar somewhere, my guess is about 10 min before they came. A bit later the waiter came back and said the Mahi was out and they could substitute scallops, and also substitute the white chocolate mole sauce for butternut squash. At this point we had no idea what we were about to consume. We gladly said no and skipped the main course. The drinks came and were “fine”, nothing bad nor special. The waiter knew something was wrong; so he offered to take the pickled vegetables off the ticket - thanks I guess… it was still $60 too much. We instead went to the corner market and got some Ruffles and Onion dip - it cost about $6 and was better than anything PinPoint had to offer and was actually gluten free, the guys (locals) behind the counter never heard of the PinPoint. It’s a tourist trap, don’t go here.

This was a lovely place to eat lunch in Wilmington! I’m gluten-free and the staff were so helpful at explaining their kitchen practices, I felt so safe and happy having many options. I had their salsa sampler which was amazing, their salsa is so bright and refreshing. I also had the jerk shrimp tostada with coconut rice, both were stellar! So fresh and flavorful! Highly recommend Savorez to anyone in the area!

We had reservations for 9 which was easily accommodated. The space and atmosphere was great. 4 of us ordered the butchers cut (14 oz ribeyes $45) and while they were all cooked correctly, mine wasn’t hot and they were all bland/didn’t seem to be seasoned at all and tough. My husband ordered the burger and they had a gluten free bun which was wonderful for him! The brussel sprouts and chocolate mouse cake was delicious! The server was great and the timing of food was reasonable. One reason we booked this restaurant was because they had parking on site in the parking deck, but it was full so we had to park really far away in another deck and walk which made some of our party late for our reservations so be aware of that if you’re having dinner there and not staying at the hotel.

The server was extremely friendly and everyone was respectful and nice. I gave a 4 on service because they forgot to bring out my food and it took longer for everything to come out more then normal. But, the waitress was extremely apologetic about it. They have plenty of dairy free and gluten free options, as well as vegan. I recommend their salads and their ciders are very good if you're gluten free. Their gluten and dairy free pizza is decent. If you are going to get the Pizza, I recommend the white one or the might meat pizza GF.

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Our group found ourselves in the downtown area during lunch, with almost nothing open and me needing gluten free options. We took a short drive over to Castle Street Kitchen because they had gluten free buns and sides. Its was a cute place and service was great. Everyone really liked their food. I had the cheeseburger with a gluten free bun and side of fresh fruit. The fruit contained pineapple, blue berries, and grapes that were fresh and crisp. The burger was made from good, flavorful beef. The gluten free bun wasn’t bad, a bit crumbly but the taste was fine. Be aware the gluten free bun did have sesame seeds on it. I would definitely go back to this restaurant.

I'm gluten free and vegetarian and loved the dinner I had a delicious meal here! I had the smoky black bean taco and loved the soft and hard taco combo. My partner had the tequila chicken taco and southern fried steak taco. Flavors were great and we loved the chips and salsa! Chips share a fryer so there is cross contamination but it didn't bother me (not celiac).

Made reservations for 7:15 and was able to be seated nearly 30min early on a Friday night. Our waitress on the second floor was extremely attentive and friendly and made the experience 1 star better. She was knowledgeable about Gluten intolerance and celiacs, recommending certain dishes at the start of the meal. We started with the Beef Satay, Octopus, Crab Dip, and Grilled Peach and Ricotta salad. The Beef Satay was okay, pretty much just a normal beef skewer - 3.5/5. The Octopus was cooked well but would’ve been better if it had a bit more of a char on it. Overall flavors of the dish were great though with the sauces and roasted potatoes - 4:5. The Crab Dip had a nice subtle flavor that wasn’t overwhelmingly fishy - 4.5/5. The Grilled Peach and Ricotta salad was light and refreshing - 4.7/5. For our entrees we had the Seared Scallops, Seafood Paella, and The Butcher’s Cut. The Scallop entree was good but unfortunately the sauce/puree really softened the scallop so you didn’t get that nice seared texture. It also could’ve used a few flakes of salt. Overall quality was nice and the cauliflower was nice touch - 4.2/5. The Seafood Paella had good flavor. You could taste the different spices and all of the seafood had a good cook on it. A few pieces of the sausage in this dish were a bit on the tough side - 4.8:5. The Butcher’s Cut would’ve easily been a 4.8 if they had not pre-sliced the steak ahead of time. By the time it reached the table it was a bit on the drier side. The butter helped a bit, but would’ve preferred the cut of meat to be whole instead - 3.6/5. We ordered two additional sides for the table, the asparagus and duck fat potatoes. The asparagus was 4/5. The duck fat potatoes were 4.8/5. Lastly, we ordered a crème brûlée, coffee and wine. The crème brûlée was a solid 4.8/5. The coffee was amazing according to my table mate who ordered it. Our waitress also had a very impressive table-side pour for it. Overall would give our visit a 4.6/5 rating. Will definitely come back again.

Let me start off by saying WOW; Manna was such an INCREDIBLE experience! The quality of service matched every ounce of the quality of the food! We thoroughly enjoyed having Stephanie as our waitress, she’s the best waitress I’ve ever had, amazing knowledge about the food, very personable and fun too…She even walked us to their speakeasy up the street to make sure we found it after dinner! Alden the sommelier is just as wonderful, we loved her selections and knowledge she shared with us about wine! They both truly made the experience all the more amazing! Now let’s talk about the food, delicious doesn’t say enough!!! We all thoroughly loved the quality and creative blends of the flavors! We chose the creamed corn, shishito peppers, and fruit salad as our apps! We had the chicken, steak, and fish as our main entrees! For dessert the upside down peach cake really impressed us and the ganache was l rich and full of creative flavors! The Meghan Markle Sparkle was my favorite cocktail they made but the espresso martini did not disappoint either! My best friend has celiacs and the kitchen as well as Stephanie did a great job on what selections she could eat and it was awesome that the majority of the menu was gluten free! Again it was overall an outstanding experience, we will be back! Thank you!

From the moment someone else’s trout dip landed on our table to the end of our evening, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole Dram Yard experience. Amanda was our guide for the evening and she did awesome! One of our party was gluten free and she made sure he was aware of even the slightest cross-contamination so that he had the same fantastic experience as the rest of us. I had the pork chop - incredibly succulent with some crispy edges that gave it a bacon-essence. My only complaint was that there should have been more cabbage because that was AMAZING. The whole dish was really well balanced. My husband had the duck, which can be gamey at times - but not this time. The golden beet puree, potatoes and Demi-glacé made the dish incredible. The blend of flavors was a perfect marriage. One of the BEST duck dishes he’s ever had - top three for sure. My girlfriend had the lamb ravioli with a mint yogurt sauce - also a delicious combination. I should also mention the craft cocktails. The bartender has a gift of blending savory and sweet with the spirits they chose. We each chose something different and all were exceptional. All in all, our best dining experience yet in Wilmington and is definitely worth a do-over. We give this a 5-star and a promise to be back soon. Thank you Dram Yard! And thank you Amanda!

I went here when I went for a river cruise. I cannot have gluten or dairy. But l bought the roast beef sandwich (minus the bread and cheese.) I got the pound. It was amazing. Had some left over and even was delicious reheated and with my gluten free bread. Worth it! Waiter was nice.
